    Very sad that there is no point, Nothing happens they leave it without an ending and Netflix really messed it up on this one, and with Henry Cavill leaving because the writers couldn't make it anything happen and are just dragging the show out making it pointless for a big finish to the season... Plus Liam Hemsworth is taking his place, so you replaced a top actor with a washed up one hitVery sad that there is no point, Nothing happens they leave it without an ending and Netflix really messed it up on this one, and with Henry Cavill leaving because the writers couldn't make it anything happen and are just dragging the show out making it pointless for a big finish to the season...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Когда я начал видеть, что они пытаются изобразить однополую искру любви между Лютиком и принцем, я не испытывал отвращение, но испытывал чувство кринжа. До последнего надеялся, что это просто очень плохо прописанные сцены, но...лол, они серьёзно превратили лютика в гея)))
    И самое смешное, что с точки зрения сюжета или раскрытия персонажей, это ни на что не влияет. Это просто есть, ради того, что бы есть.
    Я всегда с равным чувством презрения и чувства кринжа относился к нытикам про повестку. Но тут она настолько бессмысленно и беспощадная встроена, как если бы русалочку попытались сделать чёрной. Только для того что бы бороться с расизмом, что по иронии, ещё больший расизм в контексте целенаправленной фокусировки внимания на цвете кожи...ой, подождите...

    В общем, ни один сериал где двое мужчин в т.ч. и сексом занимались, не вызывал особо никаких эмоций. Здесь же, отвратительное чувство кринжа.    … Expand

    Another season, another mockery of the universe that once was great. Nuff said.

    Easily the worst season with bad writing, confusing storyline and a horrible ending. It doesn't help that they changed genders, sexual preferences, and the races of many of their characters. Clear agenda by the industry, and we see it in action again here. The Witcher is not even about the witcher anymore, it's about some powerful strong women.

    I felt like this season wasn't about the Witcher at all... He became a side character. Also, 90% is dialog with only one episode being intense and fun to watch. Overall super disappointed.

    The writer if this show admitted she inserts her political views into the show because she thinks that somehow protects her daughter. We don't care about your political views, all you had to do was put the books on the screen and instead you pissed off Henry Caville and the entire fan base. Hopefully you never get another writing job again for messing this up.

    Horrendous and unbearable. Felt like coming from a wonderful meal at a Michelin-star restaurant but then immediately afterward being forced to eat the entire menu of a local Taco Bell.

    I really liked the games, I feel season 2 was sliding but 3 is nothing like the characters in the game and really bad overall...man the ending in the tavern with the rats group.. like what.. all of a sudden 50kg kids/everyone can all of a sudden fight like a Witcher and take down a tavern?

    And all the "you can do it" type encouragement.. what happened to the dark polish folk lore and    I really liked the games, I feel season 2 was sliding but 3 is nothing like the characters in the game and really bad overall...man the ending in the tavern with the rats group.. like what.. all of a sudden 50kg kids/everyone can all of a sudden fight like a Witcher and take down a tavern?

    No wonder Henry is bailing (scored 1 for Henry). Honestly I felt like I was watching a day time soap opera. And they glossed over the relationship with Jen and Ciri.. my partner who hasn't played the games but watched all episodes is like why is she calling her Daughter.. so obviously they dropped the character dev ball.    … Expand

    The show has rotten into a series about women **** to each other whilst the main characters story arc seems more like a side hustle. If you hated season 1 you might enjoy this one as they have nothing in common whatsoever.

    I was too dumb to understand plot, please dumb it down more. +1 point because of Henry Cavill still beeing Geralt.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was really trying to enjoy this season since I believed the writers finally learnt to stick to the books. Instead I got Rience killed by Geralt (Rience was meant to get killed by Ciri way later on in the books), Jaskier and Radovid kissing in a random building, Phillipa Eilhart scissoring some random blonde, Mistle somehow traveling all the way from where Ciri first met her that fast, Cahir randomly changing his mind mid-fight even after getting his position back after killing his best friend, etc.

    Ciri's actor did outstandingly well, hence why I even gave this crap a one. It's a shame Geralt was sidelined.    … Expand

    I loved Season 1 so goddamn much, watched it 4 times. How did that change into watching season 3 being a chore. I don't even consider watching season 2 again. Definately not watching season 4. They could've just stayed with the existing writing or game, but no...

    Season 3 pays off much of the show’s early promise—particularly between Geralt and Yennefer, whose shared scenes could snap any second from the romantic and sexual tension.

    Based on the initial episodes, Cavill could leave on a relatively high note, thanks to a tighter, more focused third season, at least initially, than the second offered.

    Season 3 of The Witcher has enough story and action to satisfy fans of the show. We just wish the characters had a bit more to say.
